Hey Boo!
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough” or “I could never do that” -and believed it? You’re not alone by any means.
We all carry beliefs that once helped us survive- but over time, they can quietly turn into walls that keep us small. Sometimes, we’re not even aware we’re holding them.
For me, one of the biggest ones was this:
“I have to overwork myself to prove my worth.”
There was a time I believed that rest had to be earned. That if I wasn’t constantly doing, achieving, or helping someone else, that I wasn’t valuable. That belief followed me for years. It shaped how I showed up- exhausted, resentful, and always reaching.
Until one day, I asked myself:
Who told me that? And why am I still listening?
That was the beginning of my unlearning. And now, I want to help you begin yours.
Let’s talk about 5 limiting beliefs that might be holding you back- and how to start rewriting them, one truth at a time.
Limiting Belief 1. “I’m not enough.”
This is one of the most deeply rooted beliefs- often born from past trauma, comparison, or constantly being told we had to be more, do more, or look a certain way to matter. Try this truth instead: “I am growing, healing, and worthy- exactly as I am.”
You don’t need to earn your worth. You were always enough. Now it’s just about remembering that.
Limiting Belief 2. I don’t deserve good things.
Whether it came from guilt, shame, or someone convincing you that you had to suffer to be strong, this belief can block you from receiving joy, love, and abundance. Try this truth instead: “I deserve peace, pleasure, and goodness- simply because I exist.”
You’re not here to prove anything. You’re here to experience life fully.
Limiting Belief 3. “If I fail, it means I’m not cut out for this.”
This one sneaks in when we tie our worth to our performance or fear judgment. But failure doesn’t mean you’re not meant for it- it just means you’re in it and you’re figuring your way out. Try this truth instead: “Failure is feedback- not a final verdict.”
Every step is a lesson. Keep going.
Limiting Belief 4. “I need permission to follow my dreams.”
Sometimes we wait for someone else to believe in us before we believe in ourselves. But your dreams don’t need outside approval- just your yes. Try this truth instead: “I am my own permission slip.”
You can take the leap. You always could.
Limiting Belief 5. “It’s too late for me.”
This one stings. But here’s the truth: the past is irrelevant, as it no longer exists. What matters is now. And life isn’t on a schedule. Your timing is divine, not delayed. Try this truth instead: “I’m right on time for the life I’m meant to live.”
Start where you are. The next chapter is waiting.
Ready to Rewire? Start Here:
Limiting beliefs lose their power when you name them, challenge them, and replace them. If you’re ready to begin rewiring, let’s start with this prompt:
What limiting belief am I ready to let go of, and what truth will I choose instead?
You don’t have to believe the lies your pain told you.
You get to choose again.
Until next time Boo, keep Glowing…
